Roland JD-990 Super JD

The JD-990 is an enhanced version of the JD-800 and was the top o' the line JD-synth.
Its rack-mount design and impressive power and functionality within the studio paved
way for the hugely successful JV-series rack modules which lead, ultimately, to
the XV-series monster-modules! The JD-990 is a digital synth with 6MB of ROM
sounds with "analog-like" edit parameters and features. These include lowpass
filtering, ring modulation, osc. sync, frequency cross-mod, etc. The JD-990 is also compatible
with JV80 and JD800 expansion boards.

The JD-990 has a large LCD display which makes editing very easy and intuitive, you
can actually see the envelopes and LFO rates. There's an on-board multi-effects
processor with Delay, Reverb, Phaser, Distortion, Chorus, and EQ. For the studio,
the JD-990 has MIDI IN/OUT/THRU and eight outputs in four stereo pairs.
The JD-990 can hold one internal expansion board and the best choice is to
put the Vintage expansion in it because that gives you about 512 patches
(Only 255 from JV-series!) of which 256 are specially programmed for the
JD-990. It is used by Vangelis, The Prodigy, Apollo 440, ATB, and Mirwais.
